I don’t 😂. If I sped it up, the keyboard will sound high-pitched and I don’t want that. It’s just the fast hand movement plus 30fps makes it look that way .

Nvm saw the mods mb

All good 🫡😅.

🫡❤️

Lovecraftian eldritch stories ong.

@@milkyboardswhat even is that🧐

In the near future 🫡🙏.

@@milkyboards Very nice, thank you man

i think about it when I lie in bed

sounds amazing

All your boards sound great. I’m fine with whatever. Although if I had to give a preference, creamy/poppy/marbly is my favorite. I don’t like a super deep thock all the time, and sometimes the clackier sounds are a nice mixup.

That’s a fair point, I’ll try and change it a up a bit in the future to accommodate for different tastes. Remember that I run a shop and this RUclips channel is somewhat of an archive for sound tests, I make builds practically everyday and sometimes they will sound similar due to the mods being the same, but that don’t mean things won’t evolve or change over time. Also, no switch is supposed to sound any type of way, it’s all personal preference in the hobby, some might prefer this over a high pitch, and others might prefer a high pitch over this. Anyways, valid point, I’ll be more experimental following the next couple months. Thanks for the feedback, I suggest people treat this channel as an archive of potential sound tests or a massive experiment rather than truth.

@@milkyboards the thing is with the mods you tend to put in your boards you basically eliminate any unique sound profile from the board and switches. All of your builds sound exactly the same, even when using a plastic board vs an aluminum board or a low pitched switch vs a high pitched switch. All the foam and the tape mod you use basically completely mutes every board you make. Theres no point in buying a variety of keyboards and switches if they all sound exactly the same. Building an board with xinhais and then making it as low pitched as possible is like hammering a nail with a screwdriver, you picked one of the highest pitched switches and then basically removed all of the uniqueness it has, making it extremely dull.

@@Necrowarp_ Again fair point, I’ll take a note on this and make more generally higher pitched switches pair up with less foam in the future, I agree with your take. No need to write a thesis on this 😅.

@@milkyboards Not really a thesis, took like 30 seconds. I just type fast. I've just been in the keyboard hobby for a long time so I have a lot of opinions on things.

I mostly make all the same mods atm. I don’t see a reason to do keyboards any differently since my method I think is fairly optimal and consistent in quality. So the mods itself are correct, just do your best 🫡📈. 3x tape mod, fe foam and some kind of foam that’s not too thick but not too light, don’t forget to lube correctly and work on them stabs 😤🫡.

It’s a decision to move into a more professional setting and culture. We decided the name Milky Boards sounded too quirky and niche so we decided to incorporate our branding in a more serious professional tone. Time will tell if it was the right decision 🫡😅.

I don’t know if that’s sarcasm but thanks 🙏 😅🫡. The price of this keyboard can range anywhere from $115 to $125 stock. When one factors in etsy fees and my commission fee then it jumps to $250 plus. I recommend the Feker Galaxy80 for an aluminum finish at a similar price if that’s your alley. In response to the tape mod use, ive used my main keyboard tape modded for about 2 years, and any of the keyboards I’ve done that I’ve tested for months have never shorted the PCB. My friend has had his daily driver for 3 years now and it’s never shorted the PCB as well. In the case the PCB shorts I take full accountability and offer full refunds. The tape mod is a staple in the keyboard hobby, and despite the GMK87 being a budget keyboard it’s surprisingly sturdy and well made, none of my GMK67s that I’ve used for months and made over 40 of have never shorted either. Probability is very minimal here, in which case, I take full responsibility for whatever malfunctions happen with my clients.

@@milkyboards yeah i think the US market for custom keyboard was insane, your commission fee is the same as the complete keyboard including switches and keycaps😅 like you know, with $250 you can get a real premium keyboard at the entry enthusiast level like TKD Cycle8, Neo80, TB8. you are smart in finding the market, good luck bro! never happened in the keyboard you made does not rule out the fact that tape mods have caused problem in pcbs which have been popular in several keyboard community forums. it is very good that you provide a guarantee when that happens but giving a proper explanation before it happens is not a bad idea either right?

Absolutely, so far in the last 2 years I’ve been doing this, not a single client has contacted me regarding a shorted PCB. It’s really that low of a probability which is why I don’t post it as a disclaimer on every description or listing. In the case the keyboard malfunctions, I provide full refunds or a complete free replacement. The chance of a shorted PCB is there however, but the tape mod is still a necessary mod, it’s like a car in America. The probability of crashing at any point is there, but you still have to commute to work to feed your family 😅. Also, yea the hobby is expensive, I lube every switch, hole-mod every stabilizer, use my own tools and ship the item for free. The commission fee at 100-110 barely is enough to earn $90-100 dollars every keyboard that is sold, which is roughly 20 dollars an hour since I take 5 hours on average recently to make my boards.

@@milkyboards come on bro, tape mod is not an obligation like working, unless the keyboard sound is that bad that it has to be tape modded:) but yeah back to you, I just want to tell the risks of tape mod to people who are new to this hobby. yes I agree this hobby is expensive but the bad news is now there are many prebuilt keyboards (already include switches and keycaps) that can sound thocky (sound like in the video) even without mods like wob crush80, mchose gx87, leobog hi75 which are much cheaper. many switches now have pre-lube with good quality so they don't need to be lubricated again (like the hmx xinhai you use in the video) so maybe it's better not to waste our time and money. but yeah keep up the spirit bro!

@@mybyyy348 hey all good, we can agree to disagree, if people want to invest in my service they will, if they do not they won’t. Take care.

Might chill out on the foam next time and see the difference, It does sound more foamy than ideal 🫡.

@@milkyboardsdo one no foam video

It’s not stock atm. Made to order, so if you want it I would do a private listing for you, just message us via the Etsy contact feature, I reply pretty quickly since I build keyboards full-time 😅. Most of the keyboards in the channel will continue to be made to order for a little bit. I will post in-stock keyboards soon.

Soon i'll have some ready made ones... Disclaimer, one has to pay the commission fee, else I am working for free. 😅I'll also post a listing for keyboards that I can make within 2-3 business days with priority shipping, so total wait time will be 5-6 days tops.

@@milkyboards I've been eyeing your Etsy shop as well and plan on possibly buying something from you, but I just can't figure out what I want. I've been looking for a new keyboard and I'm kind of new to all this shit. I've been drowning myself in mechanical keyboard content and information for the past week and it's making my head spin.

Yea I feel you. If you decide on what base and switches you want just message us and I will reply as long as am not sleeping 😴 😅.

Must be magic.

@@milkyboardswhat’s your personal daily driver for a keyboard

@@lmapa69 don’t have any atm. I try keyboards all the time so I get bored frequently. 😅

@@milkyboards do you have a sound signature you generally prefer?

Not really, haven’t decided on anything yet.. I don’t like too clacky though, to the point it’s too high pitched.

I put it around it if it is in direct contact with the battery and I make sure it does not touch the battery. Ive worked with this method for a year already and nothing has ever happened to any of my keyboards when used wireless for months.

@@milkyboards Ok! 👍

Say less, message us and we will sort that out ASAP. 📈😇

@@lmapa69 really? is that a thing?

noico dampener

@@lmapa69 i did silly putty in mine

It's not really a trick, it's more of just the fact that compared to polyfill and other kinds of foam, I've found that memory foam does the best job at keeping a thock but creamy sound signature, so it's like the perfect in-between. If the foam that comes included in your keyboard is of good quality then you might not need to use memory foam or any other foam for that matter, but often times stock keyboards come with bad case foams or very little, so thats were the memory foam comes into place.

Can vouch. Just got my rainy75 and it is as endgame as a keyboard can get.

It might be done in the near future 🫡.

@@milkyboards Nice! Could I commission you to build one for me on your Etsy?

Sure! Message us in Etsy, we will reply asap!

@@milkyboards Thank you very much!

I do not. Doing so would only make the keyboard sound more high-pitched. 😅

His girlfriend is definitely happy, lookin at how he did that spacebar.

Maybe. It’s just these keyboards with some PE foam and Tape just tend to sound deeper and the audience generally likes deeper sounds.

Atm we don’t have any keyboards stock. Anything bought from us is made to order, so there is a 7-10 day wait until we can ship it.

Hey, for this particular keyboard, switches are $30 and keycaps are also close to $25. This base is roughly $80. So raw costs are $135, then we factor in materials costs such as lube, packaging, painters tape, foam, PE Foam, commission fee and shipping costs.. I squeeze in just enough as a service to make $90-100 on most sales. Since every keyboard takes roughly 5 hours of labor since I manually lube every switch and mod the stabs to perfection. I only make profit on the commission fee, nothing else.

@@milkyboards oh alright thanks for letting me know. Ill consider buying one of your keyboard soon :)

Yes, heavily modded though.
